I used to sell quite a bit … not much recently though … I just saw your comment here as you can see this page is a little aged, lol
But I think I still have most of the pieces you see here

I’m glad you put up The Cross 1, that is my favorite work of yours (that I’ve seen). Keep them coming!

Hey there, L_mom … I thought I was all alone here in the middle of the night

Sleepless night, thought I would do a little reading. About to go back to bed. Good night, Tonto. I’ll read ya’ tomorrow.

I do love your artwork… Styrofoam? I would have never guessed. You have talent.

Thanks again ;-D
I am going to take a nap now myself …

Real nice art work, I am no artist but I like to carve on gun stocks. Things like oak leaves, deer, wild hogs and dogs. The carvings can make plain guns look real nice. I recently bought a book on gun engraving and it is something I might try in the future.

Good luck. I tried “whittling” a few years ago (I made a few Christmas decorations) it was a great medium to use.

You ARE an artist ;-D
Thank you ;-D

What medium are you using when you do these?

Hey Montana, happy to see you stop by (finally!!)

I’m usually a rather patient sort, but doggone it, you did take your time in arriving to this spanking new site. It’s OK, all is forgiven, buddy. I’m just delighted I can talk with another Mac person here 😉

That is a great question … these are “sculptural paintings” … these two are actually Styrofoam which is chemically etched to create the desired relief then each receives a plaster-like coating before they are painted with series of acrylic coatings … many of the other pieces that I have done and will eventually post are similar to these but also include embossed paper, water colors, drawings and found objects. I started out working with concrete, but that proved to be inconvenient to “hang on the wall” so had to develop this technique which has been many years in the making

The “Textures in the Multiverse” is my favorite. I would love to have that on my wall. quite contemplative and open to wide ranges of interpretations. Nice depth and variations of textures. I find it draws the eye in without being too fatigueing.The others are very nice pcs. also.

It can be yours, if you’re serious 😉
Send me an email (see the Soap Box) and I can send you more information about it

These are very cool! Love The Cross1. I’ve never thought of working with styrofoam! But then again, I haven’t done sculptural stuff in a long time. Excellent idea!

Thanks for the details! I wouldn’t have guessed styrofoam…. I’m sure the images don’t do them justice. Maybe next time I’m in the Hoosier state visiting family, we can set up a neutral venue for you to show them off!

Talent, you’ve got it.

I have always loved your artwork, Tonto. I look forward to seeing more of it.
